Ammon's Second Birthday

Ammon turned 2 on August 30th, 2011. Obviously this is a more than a little late, but better late than never, right?  He has grown up so quickly from my little baby boy, into a rambunctious and wild toddler.  Every day with him is a new adventure. His favorite things lately are trains, (he calls them "A choo choo ride") dinosaurs, cars, and spiderman (well basically any little action figure, but he calls them all SPIDERMAN!).  He loves loves loves playing outside and going to the playground, playing with sticks, dirt and pine cones.  I am forever telling him he cannot bring sticks and rocks, etc. into the house.  He went through a period of time lately where he was very attached to mommy and daddy.  He would not stay in nursery, in fact he would cry as soon as he figured out we were walking towards that door, and he would have melt downs whenever daddy or I would leave.  He is (knock on wood) finally starting to out-grow this phase.  I am loving that he is talking more and more every day, and his little funny personality is shining through.  Lately his favorite phrases are, "What's going on, Momma?", "Thank you, Your Welcome!", and "Whatcha got there?"  He love to sing, but will only do it when HE wants to and not when he is prompted to.  His favorite songs to sing are "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam," "Once there was a Snowman," and the "ABC's."  He is a very sweet and loving little boy, he loves to give "squeeze" hugs and snuggle.  The boys share a room and have a bunk bed, with Noah on the top bunk and Ammon on the bottom, but a couple of weeks after we got it, Ammon gravitated to the top bunk because he likes to snuggle with Noah at night, and that is how they have slept ever since.  We are so grateful to have this little guy as a part of our family.  He definitely brings so much spunk and humor into our house, and our family simply would not be the same with out him! We love him so much!
